I fear TMP may be in danger now too. Reilly seemed to be its only campion at the network and with him out of the way, they may cut the episode order or give it a sudden cancelation altogether. There were rumors of such a scenario earlier this year on another forum.

So, it was a college show without any hot young college age cast members? Unlike some other posters here, there are 2-3 people in that cast who I absolutely won’t watch for any reason. I change the channel to get away from them.

Nope. Watched 30 live and DVR’d Men. Loved 30. Loved it. This sounded bad. Fey wasn’t even going to be involved. She is going to be more involved in the NBC show. This was a no-show producer credit on her part.

This was going to be mediocre. At best. It was going to be a workplace comedy set at a women’s school admitting men for the first time.

Its funny that you mentioned 2.5 Men. Cause that’s the humor that this show would have resorted to all too often.

Fox would have butchered the energy such a cast as talented as this group. Fey and Ali would have been terrific together. Seriously speaking, Tina Fey would be terrific in a no holds barred venue like HBO, which afforded Julia Dreyfus to use her talents to the utmost. Imagine Fox granting her that liberal swing comedy?!?!?

I actually liked the premise of Cabot College but this doesn`t surprise me. I`ve become pretty cynical regarding television comedies in recent years.The only current comedies I watch are The Goldbergs, Big Bang Theory, Young and Hungry and Baby Daddy although none of them are in my top 20 list. I`m not super optimistic about any of the new comedies I’m interested in including A to Z, Fresh Off the Boat and Selfie because of their timeslots. I just think the half-hour comedy format should die already.

Why people think it is fox fault, maybe the show itself had a major flaw that made the network pass the project, I am not a fox fans at all like I’m mad that they keep changing bones schedule last season, but in this case but sick of this people blaming on someone without knowing what’s really going on. Oh and to those commenters saying that fox has flop comedy? The network has TMP and B99 which are two of the smarter comedy shows this past season. If you don’t realize that, then I’m sorry for your flop taste.

Not surprised, the concept would probably have worked better as a movie. Most people on here seem to just be going by the fact that Tina Fey was involved. Don’t get me wrong, I like Fey, but just because she has some good projects on her resume and a devoted fanbase does not mean she can’t produce a dud or two. She’s also busy churning out several screenplays for movie studios, so don’t worry just because Fox didn’t pick up a show she was producing.
